From: "naruse (Yui NARUSE) via ruby-core" Date: 2023-04-24T02:03:11+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:113320] [Ruby master Bug#19614] Adopt Semantic Versioning Issue #19614 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE). Status changed from Open to Rejected We don't use Semantic Versioning. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19614: Adopt Semantic Versioning https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19614#change-102877 * Author: fulldecent (William Entriken) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Ruby was created in 1995. That's back when the UNIX timestamp was only 9 digits, before Nintendo 64, and before most people on Earth today were born. Since then, basically everybody else in the software industry has adopted Semantic Versioning. **Now it is time for Ruby to make this momentous change.** Not "almost SemVer". Not "sometimes SemVer". Actually "SemVer". This means: 1. Update the major version number (the FIRST part of the version string) with EVERY backwards incompatible change. 2. Follow every other rule published at https://semver.org/ 3. Tell everybody we are following SemVer. This issue is to promote the cause for SemVer and to change Ruby's release process to enter the 21st century. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
